Quick Quotes

Q. Putter seemed hot today. I think you were fifth in strokes gained on the green when it ended. What was working?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: I had two three-putts too. I started with a three-putt on 10, and then I just three-putted on 6 from like four feet. Obviously at the end of the day, kind of a little bumpy.

Yeah, I rolled it really nice. Obviously it's windy. It's tough to read them. Yeah, played really good. Happy with the way I'm playing. Looking forward to the challenge the course brings tomorrow.

Q. You went 69, 67 in 2018 here. How does the game feel compared to that year?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: Feels really good. Finally the last couple months, I feel like the game is starting to come back into form and swinging it really nicely. Yeah, looking forward to seeing what I can do.

Q. Conditions were the big topic this week. What did you think out there?

DUSTIN JOHNSON: Yeah, obviously toward the last hour we played, the wind laid down a little bit. With the course being quite soft, it definitely played a little bit easier.

But at the start of the day, it was playing very, very difficult. Obviously we got maybe a little fortunate there towards the end just because the wind did lay down just a hair for us, but it still played tough, so I had to hit good shots.
